- Time and effort that is put in to shooting and setting up your shots helps produce better quality shots in the final product
- Sometimes having a friend asist you to help you stay calm will make your person you are shooting calmer aswell.
- Set your background close to a wall but 10 - 20 feet away from the subject to give the photo dimension to it.
- Make sure no other light source is putting a weird lighting on the picture.
- Don't shoot too far away from the subject but a distance of 6 to 10 feet away from your subject.
- Coloring can add a new mood or feeling to an object that you are shooting.
- It's a good idea to make the background out of focus and in a wide framed shot aswell
- also creates shallowness and depth to the picture and more sharpness and on the main focus of the picture too.
- Making your shutter speed faster will help the subject not blink if there is a large or bright flash that is going to be applied.
Indoors
- Light on a 45 degree angle is probally best.
- Using a reflector will also help in an indoor setting.
- Using the simplist lighting is probally best aswell.
- Direct sunlight isnt the best lighting for portraits
- Open shade would probally work best for shooting and make your subject feel more comfortable being outside too.
- a friend using a reflector is also needed
- Cloudly days are great for outside photography. make very flattering portraits for all the people who are in the shot.
- Capturing a person doing everyday activities or things not staging it at all
- Trying to get shots without the subject noticing you or posing is the most effective way to get a good candid shot of that person
- a subjects surrounding give the photo more meaning and context to the picture itself and colors will also add to different moods to the picture and to the person too.
- candid assignments cause you to take more picture than you would for any other asssignment to get a good single picture,
- Family snap shots can help them by looking through family pictures.
- Taking action shots with candid shots which means you need a faster shutter speed the you would usually need
- Flash is very useful for the candid shots
- If you are using flash get close to get a good distance because most auto flashes don't work that well with long distances
- it doesnt just show the subjects face it also shows the subjects life and feeling to the person
- Enviornmental portraits can take a completey good picture of a person to show their personality and such\
- Wide angle lenses are also useful in capturing enviornmental portaits aswell especially when indoors. Zoom can help take or add the feeling of closeness or far away feeling to the picture that could be good asweell
